This is the story of Rajpreet Kaur, a 21-year-old fresh college graduate from Bhatinda, Punjab, India. Rajpreet has always dreamt of passing the Civil Services Examination, one of the world's toughest tests for joining India's elite government services. Success in this exam can change lives, but it requires extensive preparation, including costly books, a laptop, and rigorous private coaching and self-study.
However, Rajpreet's family, with her father working as a small-scale farmer and her mother as a homemaker, cannot afford these expenses. Without help, Rajpreet might have to give up her dream, a reality too common for many women in Panjab.
But there is hope – with your support.
Boosting Futures with Project Kirti
We at UNITED SIKHS believe in empowering individuals like Rajpreet. Through our initiative, Project Kirti, we provide resources to those in need, promoting self-sufficiency and breaking the cycle of generational poverty, especially in communities where gender norms often limit opportunities for women.
By supporting Rajpreet, you're not just helping one individual; you're setting a precedent for many more girls who dare to dream big. Your contribution can provide the necessary tools for Rajpreet's success, enabling her to uplift not just herself but her entire community.
Launched in January 2023, Project Kirti is aimed at breaking the cycle of generational poverty.
Apart from young female civil service aspirants like Rajpreet, several other deserving girl students from indigent families have reached out to UNITED SIKHS for assistance to sponsor various vocational courses. From Google Certification Courses such as Data Analytics and UX Design to Diplomas in animation designing and accounting & taxation, these are courses that will help them obtain the technical know-how and skills they need to gain immediate, meaningful employment.
Money Well Spent
These young women have but a simple dream – to become self-reliant and earn a livelihood that’s adequate, decent, and respectable. But even this simple dream seems scarcely attainable. Most of them come from families that can barely make ends meet, let alone pay for a daughter’s education and related expenses.
Consequently, your precious contribution will be used to pay for the following:
UPSC & other competitive examination coaching fees
Vocational Course fees
Laptop
Wi-Fi expenses
Books & stationery
The cost of one girl’s scholarship is about INR 1.5 lakhs (approximately USD $1815) which will include the aforementioned expenses.
They are Leaning on You!
It is worth remembering that Project Kirti is in line with one of the key United Nations sustainable development goals – to promote sustainable economic growth and full, productive, and decent employment for all.
Every single penny you contribute will be well-spent!
Your contribution is sure to make an enormous difference to the lives of these bright young women, helping them blaze a trail and, in turn, show the way to thousands of young girls.
Help give wings to their dreams!
